Book 24/7 throughout the Randstad and beyond, to Schiphol and back. Heading back to Rotterdam outside rush hour also takes around 55 minutes, and because there is no night surcharge, you pay the same fixed price after a late landing. The driver reaches addresses south of the river via the Beneluxtunnel without a detour through the centre. If you land on a Friday afternoon, allow for the evening rush hour on the A4 towards Rotterdam.

Your taxi from Rotterdam to Schiphol Airport
A taxi from Rotterdam to Schiphol is arranged through SchipholRide for a fixed total price from €125 (Comfort); the 61-kilometre trip takes around 55 minutes outside rush hour. To be fair, the Intercity Direct from Rotterdam Centraal is a strong alternative: it reaches Schiphol in roughly 26 minutes, faster than any car.
So when is the taxi the better choice? If you don't live next to a station, if you're travelling with a lot of luggage or with children, if you have a departure before the first train, or if you're sharing with a group, then door-to-door beats platform-to-platform.
The driver picks you up in any district, from Prins Alexander to Charlois, and for a pickup at Schiphol your flight is tracked live. Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar) costs €155, a Van for 5-8 people €165 and VIP €230, all inclusive of VAT, luggage and Schiphol parking charges.
Your route and departure time
From the north bank you take the A13 towards Den Haag via the Kleinpolderplein: past Overschie and Delft to the Ypenburg interchange, where you join the A4 towards Amsterdam. From there it's straight on past Leiden and Hoofddorp to exit 2 Schiphol; the airport sits directly on the A4, so the final stretch takes almost no time.
If you live south of the river (Charlois, IJsselmonde, Hoogvliet), the driver usually takes the Beneluxtunnel straight onto the A4 and skips the A13. Outside rush hour the trip takes around 55 minutes; between 07:00-09:30 and 16:00-18:30 it can rise to around 80 minutes.
The familiar bottlenecks are the A13 near Overschie and Delft and the A4 around Zoeterwoude and Leiden. For a morning flight it's wise to allow extra time, though before 06:00 this route is usually quiet.
Pickup in and around Rotterdam
The driver picks you up anywhere in Rotterdam: from Kralingen and Hillegersberg-Schiebroek to Feijenoord, Delfshaven and the eastern districts around Prins Alexander. Pick-up at a station is also possible (Rotterdam Centraal, Blaak or Alexander), which is handy if you first travel by metro or tram to a meeting point.
Travelling for business? The driver is just as happy to wait outside your office at Brainpark or Waalhaven-Zuid. During major events at Ahoy, the area around Zuidplein is noticeably busier; in that case, give a home address or a quiet side street as the pick-up point.
Pickup areas include
- Kralingen-Crooswijk
- Hillegersberg-Schiebroek
- Prins Alexander
- Charlois
- Feijenoord
- IJsselmonde
- Delfshaven
- Overschie
Stations: Rotterdam Centraal, Rotterdam Blaak, Rotterdam Alexander, Rotterdam Noord, Rotterdam Zuid, Rotterdam Lombardijen
Business pickups also available at: Brainpark · Waalhaven-Zuid. Enter your business address for a direct ride from the office to departures, with an invoice on request.
Travelling to or from an event? Around Rotterdam Ahoy you can book a door-to-door ride too, useful after the last train or bus has left.

“Excellent service for our trip from Schipol airport to Spijkenisse. Communication from the driver was excellent and we managed to arrange a earlier pick up based on his knowledge of how long the immigration queue would be. Very friendly, helpful and would highly recommend”

Frequently asked questions about this route
From your first fare check to your return ride to Rotterdam. Choose a topic and find the details you need before travelling.
Fares & booking
Do I get an invoice with VAT for my ride?
Yes. Book in your company's name and you receive an invoice with a VAT specification, useful for your records or expense claim.
Pickup & journey time
What time should I leave Rotterdam for an 08:00 flight?
Work backwards: for an 08:00 flight you want to be at Schiphol around 06:00 (two hours of check-in time). With around 55 minutes of driving outside rush hour, that means a pick-up at around 05:00. At that hour the A13 and A4 are virtually empty, so the margin is comfortable, and the driver is at your door at the agreed time.
Which route does the taxi take from Rotterdam to Schiphol, and how bad is rush hour?
From the north bank via the A13 to the Ypenburg interchange and then the A4 to exit 2 Schiphol; from south of the river often via the Beneluxtunnel straight onto the A4. Outside rush hour the trip takes around 55 minutes, while in the morning or evening peak it can rise to around 80 minutes, mainly due to congestion on the A13 near Delft and the A4 around Leiden.
Isn't the train from Rotterdam faster than a taxi?
To the platform at Schiphol, yes: the Intercity Direct takes around 26 minutes from Rotterdam Centraal (with a supplement). But you first have to get to Centraal yourself, with all your luggage. Door-to-door, at early or late hours, or with 5-8 people in a single Van for €165 total, the taxi often works out more favourably.
Do you also pick up in districts outside the centre, such as Prins Alexander or Charlois?
Yes, the fixed price applies across all of Rotterdam: from Hillegersberg-Schiebroek and Kralingen to IJsselmonde, Hoogvliet and Overschie. From south of the river the driver takes the logical route via the Beneluxtunnel; from the eastern districts around Alexander they join the motorway via the ring road.
The pick-up address makes no difference to the fare.
Can I book a business trip from Brainpark or another office area?
Certainly. The driver picks you up at your office at Brainpark, Waalhaven-Zuid or elsewhere in the city. For business travellers, Premium (Mercedes E-Class or similar, €155) is a logical choice; if you're travelling with a delegation of 5-8 people, the Van (€165) is the right fit.
Free cancellation is possible up to 24 hours before pickup, handy for changing schedules.
Is a taxi cheaper than parking at Schiphol?
For a longer trip it often is: you pay one fixed fare instead of parking fees per day, and you don't have to haul your cases from P3 to the terminal. Compare your own route with the price calculator.
Passengers & return journeys
Can I book a return trip in one go?
Yes, you arrange your outbound and return ride in one booking with the return option in the booking flow. For the return your driver tracks your flight and 60 minutes of free waiting time apply.
